Kurow Harness Racing Club – Sunday 19 August, Owners Appreciation BBQ

We have a brand new Facebook Page!

We will also be utilizing our Facebook page on race day to bring you race previews, interviews and aftermaths with winning connections for our 19 August annual meeting.

Free kids entertainment and free entry.

Gerald Cayford, the new president of the Kurow Harness Racing Club, will host a barbeque for owners and licence holders at the annual race meeting of the club at Oamaru on Sunday, August 19.

Cayford has succeeded Tony Wall, who had four years as president.

‘’Entertainment is my specialty and we will have the bus and a marquee tent set up for the barbeque,” said Cayford, who will be assisted by his son, Jason, a member of the committee. The “bus” is a mobile motor home often used by Gerald to attend race meetings and entertain.

“Anyone can come along and have a chat to us about racing.”

Gerald has also stepped in to sponsor the $14,500 Kurow Cup.

“A sponsor dropped out at the last minute so I decided to front up and give trainer Amber Hoffman a boost,’’ he said.

The cup will be sponsored under the name of her Glamour Hooves stable at Waikouaiti.

Cayford has raced numerous horses among them the trotter Heard The Whisper, winner of six races but subsequently hindered by injury. Gerald is in the ownership of Motu Top Mach, the up and coming 3yr-old, who has won twice in four starts. He hopes to be represented at the Kurow meeting by Sheez Good and Sefton Hooligan, both raced in partnerships. Sheez Good, trained by Patrick O’Reilly, has won three races. Sefton Hooligan is trained by Hoffman.

ATC 2019 Syndicate:

Over the last two decades, the Auckland Trotting Club has formed 17 syndicates, each comprising either 40 or 50 shares and racing between 2 and 4 horses.To date, all 17 syndicates have proved, or are proving, very successful:

At this year’s Australasian Classic Yearling Sale or the New Zealand Premier Yearling Sale, the Auckland Trotting Club 2019 Syndicate’s yearlings were selected by the top trainers Robert Dunn, Brent Mangos and Logan Hollis / Shane Robertson:

Name: Alta RedeemerTrainer: Robert Dunn

Name: Christianshavtime

Trainer: Logan Hollis / Shane Robertson

Name: Bet WestTrainer: Brent Mangos

When you join an ATC Syndicate, not only do you get to enjoy the thrill of owning and racing harness racehorses, but you can also be very involved in Harness Racing generally, initially at Alexandra Park and the wider Auckland/Waikato area and then quite possibly venturing further afield in New Zealand and Australia, as some previous ATC Syndicates have.

There are many advantages involved with being part of one of the Auckland Trotting Club Syndicates. These include; the comparatively low costs, the opportunity to share in the ownership of well bred horses trained by some of the best trainers in New Zealand, making new friendships with like-minded people, having total involvement in the Harness Racing industry and having the opportunity to participate in social events and possibly travel throughout the year.

Every month, syndicate members receive a detailed newsletter documenting each horse’s progress, member news, and other information. Regular updates are placed on a phone-in message service, which can be accessed at anytime from anywhere in New Zealand free of charge.

We have already had syndicate members from a wide geographical location around New Zealand, from Kaeo and Kaitaia in the North, to Dunedin and Invercargill in the South, as well as from the USA, Canada, England, Japan, Australia (Victoria, NSW, Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australia) and even Iceland.

Each year of establishing a new Syndicate, the Auckland Trotting Club has implemented their hugely successful formula of buying three richly bred yearlings at the Yearling Sales, with these horses being selected by and trained by some of New Zealand’s leading trainers.
